Curry, Curry and Curry

Curry, Curry & Curry and Coriander and Cilantro

The more commonly available Curry powder in US of A stores is a combination of several herbs. Turmeric root Curcuma longa, a strong dye, Coriander seed Coriandrum sativum (Cilantro is the leaf of Coriandrum sativum) and Cumin seed  are in it and typically give it the color we are familiar with. Globally, regional variations on other ingredients occur. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Curry
